Or, you could DIY it.

I got an under-biased, underpowered Meathead Deluxe clone that was apparently made my a high school kid who didn't know what he was doing. It doesn't sound like it's supposed to (way more 60s than any Meathead Deluxe demo I've ever heard) but it sounds pretty awesome. Plenty of definition, explosive palm mutes, easy on the ears. You have to kind of gauge your sustain so it doesn't run out on you. Everything you wouldn't expect from a Meathead Deluxe, because it's not one, it's a failed attempt that ended up being something else.

I'm definitely grooving on the Meathead Deluxe Clone. I have no idea what the Meathead Deluxe is supposed to sound like, but what this one lacks in gain it makes up for in impact. I opened it up, and the kid who made it does not have a Phd in soldering, but it sounds good. It doesn't play so well with others (sounds best on its own), but gets tolerable mid-boosted solo sounds if I goose it with my Tone Reaper.

Next band practice, I'm gonna try to use it alone, because it's got a lot of crunch that is fuzz crunch, not distortion crunch. If it cuts through with a band, it's definitely a keeper.

I was super keen on th Black Acid at some point but after seeing Conan live and hearing the Fuzz Throne in all its glory, I was pretty happy to just run with Nicks take.If you listen to Blood Eagle, that pedal is pretty much the sound of that album live.Like, you have to try real hard to get it to sound shit.

I don't like the DAM or EFE Fuzz Faces that much.They sound more like a distortion.For riffing they're good but then I like the EFE 6618 Muff or BAT Pharaoh better for that.A Fuzz Face should sound more fuzzy than the typical Muff in my opinion.

I find the black acid is best and most dynamic with the fuzz maxed and the 'drive' (which I think is a pregain?) fairly low/halfway, and then it sounds more fuzzy. I actually really love it, and have messaged a couple people about building something similar but germanium based.

That could be rad. Let us know if you do Sidenote: I think Nick may have done a run of Germ Fuzz Thrones at some point. Hit him up?

Fuzzstortion is cool, man.

The right Fuzzstortion is very cool. The kind that fits like distortion in a mix but has that fuzzy goodness. I like Muffs, but most of them lack explosiveness. Never tried the Pharaoh or the EFE Muff, though.
